The Maury County Sheriff’s Department captured on dash cam video the moment when a deputy helped two people who had no clue a rattlesnake was so close to them.

Deputy Adam Sisk was pulling up to a gravel lot when he noticed a man and woman laying on the ground with a snake approaching in their direction.

Sisk immediatly got out of his vehicle to warn the the couple that there was a rattlesnake right next to them, that is when the man jumped up, and ran away from the snake leaving the woman behind still sitting close to the rattlesnake.

The woman following the deputy's command slowly moved away from the snake safely
